The BIOS recovery files cannot be found or the files are corrupted.

My son said he didnt let his pc finish updating and turned it off when he turned the pc back on later it started beeping and went to a black screen and a blue box came up that said ( THE BIOS RECOVERY FILES CANNOT BE FOUND OR THE FILES ARE CORRUPTED).  We have tried unpluging it removing the battery for a while pushing the power button 10 times etc. all the steps they say to try to reset the BIOS I have searched every youtube video searched google  I don't know what else to do. The only thing I havent done is the USB flash drive that is because for some odd reason HP doesn't have it on the support website to download if I could download the BIOS USB recovery drive to a USB it may work but I can't find it anywhere can someone please help me I don't know what else to do.  THANKS

Hi @SALING4 

Sorry to see this. You are in a worst case scenario; power loss during a BIOS update.

HP offers some tips at this Site. I don't think HP offers a bootable USB BIOS recovery option for your PC. And, the PC may not have USB function if the BIOS is corrupted.

Download this BIOS update. See if you can create a USB BIOS recovery drive on a different PC. Try this drive if you can create it and your PC has USB function.

I would contact HP Support for assistance. HP would reprogram the BIOS, replace the BIOS chip, or replace the MB.

Have a local PC Tech take a look. Many Techs can program the BIOS even if the PC is "bricked". Give the Tech the downloaded BIOS file.
